Sponsorships
The mission of the International Lifeguard Critical Incident Response Alliance (ILCIRA) is to empower emergency responders in the aquatic's community with the tools and support needed to effectively manage and recover from critical incidents.
The ILCIRA envisions a world where aquatics management teams, lifeguards and allied aquatics support staff are fully equipped with comprehensive education, training and consultation services, enabling them to resiliently navigate and manage the aftermath of critical incidents.
ILCIRA’s programs would not be possible without the generous support of our donors and support from our volunteers who donate countless hours to advance research and champion support initiatives for those impacted by critical incidents.
